Energy Shield and Life
" Is absolute ES CI; nobody goes all ES, and 90k only trough support. In the video Bitch fuck face cow with lots of amazing gear & currency still dies. Clearly having all ES is not advantage rather a disadvantage; u can have same I think with lots of life and no damage. What's ur point?? |

" Same here. Wow. I've been having less fun with the game ever since they added trials (which I still think are horrible) but found some fun ES builds in the recent past, builds where stacking int buffed both offense and defense and were different than the tornado shot archer I'd been playing for ages. This kind of knee-jerk build-killing overreaction nerf is just the kind of thing that makes me quit a game entirely. Maybe I'll check back in six months, maybe a year, maybe never... but this announcement has entirely killed my desire to play the expansion at all. There's not even hope of player testing and feedback changing things. I've never once seen GGG say 'Oops, that didn't work out the way we thought, players really didn't like it, guess we won't nerf this into the ground like we planned.' Once they decide to nerf something, no amount of feedback will change their minds, ever. When GGG decides to 'adjust' something, give up the thought of playing it for a year or more. Too bad. But not unexpected. Maybe around 4.3 the game will be fun again. Last edited by Finnien on May 20, 2017, 2:55:53 AM

" Unfortunately, based on history, that's not how GGG works. They announce an over-the-top nerf. Players complain. GGG doesn't care. Nerf goes through as stated. Builds die. End of story. They really just don't care. | |
" Maybe because these were not balance changes, but forced meta shifts, just like this one? Just a theory. Last edited by MECHanokl on May 20, 2017, 3:57:00 AM

AHaahahahahahah the salt levels in this thread are unreal!
Well done GGG, i admire you for the way you work. Good fucking job! | |

How regretful.
I want to ask you: What the difference between LIFE and ES builds with instant leech? NONE except that ES pool is higher which helps to withstand hard blows (ELEMENTAL ONLY)! (Life/Armour will mitigate physical damage, while Life/Evasion gives evasion to all attack types)! But you have to remember that ES builds sacrifices nodes/item slots/flasks slots to counter STUN/FREEZE/etc. which come non stop on red maps while life based have better in this aspect (the more life the better)! If ES as you say will be CUT DOWN at high-end levels SO WHY YOU REMOVING INSTANT LEECH FOR ES? Instead of balancing ES values you CUT DOWN builds VARIETY. WHY THERE CAN'T BE ES INSTANT LEECH BUILDS? | |

I just lol'ed when I saw the changes. Why not just remove ES from the game? I bet you guys at GGG will feel more relieved :)
These kind of changes will absolutely kill build variety, which imho POE has to offer as a distinctive advantage over its alternatives. If this is the case, I'd return to D3 :D, as there will be no advantage of this game over that. At least I wont face random DC's in the middle of end content.
